Hi,
this is actually not problem but rather a matter of customs:
My new fresh installed system shows root-fs in "df" as
/dev/root, not actuall device (in my case /dev/md2).

I think I coud get used to it, but some software still needs
/dev/md2 (i.e. lilo), other does not find /dev/md2 anymore
and needs /dev/root to work properly (i.e. monit).

Moreover, in /etc/fstab I still have to use /dev/md2 as root
filesystem, while /etc/mtab shows only /dev/root.

I do not like such a mess and I'd like to put it in rather
consistent state where root filesystem has always the same
and only name. Is there some way to stop this renaming
of root filesystem to /dev/root and let it be as in old
baselayout1?

Jarry
